(Sandy) Alex G at Primavera Sound

Beach Music in Barcelona from the young Philadelphian singer-songwriter.

Alex Giannascoli is the kind of bedroom singer-songwriter whose soft-shuffling, touching indie songs cut through the noise of endless Bandcamp releases and YouTube stars. He self-released five records before signing to Domino, putting out the critically acclaimed Beach Music and its followup, Rocket. In this episode, his simple setup — comprised of a guitar, drums and a piano — allow Giannascoli’s dreamy vocals and humorous interludes to take centerstage.
